However, in my defense, I showed Luc the video of my 360 off-road excursion and he was cool with me and just said that I needed to lower the pressure in my rear tires. I was coming out of turn 2 too hot and spun at almost 70 mph.

Now my car is covered in dust and dirt, inside and out So, afterwards I lowered the rear pressures to 32 and checked the fronts to keep them at 34. However, it seems that a piece dirt in the valve stem of the front right because it went flat. So, I ran the whole second second with a flat front right and still managed to get a 2:23. Afterwards, I checked the tire for damage and filled it back up and it stayed at pressure for the rest of the day with no issues.

Many thanks to @ddeflyer for the ride-alongs and the great tips and pointers. It helped tremendously.

My stock brakes are toast so I need to get some track pads before the next track day.

With that said, who all is going to the Thunderschliefe run on July 11?
Glad I could help, and you really picked up what I was saying fast! Also, your E85 tune was awesome, making me jealous

I won't be there on the 11th, as that is the weekend that I am going to auto club speedway. I will be doing the five miles again on the 25th though if anyone is going to that.
